Essential Oils for Beginners

This simple essential oils for beginners guide will help you figure out where to start with essential oils. Before I say anything else – don’t worry. I’m not trying to get you to buy anything from me. Or to join my team. Or to be a “member” of something.

Finding Vegan food at Aldi

I have a very old post on my old blog on how to shop at Aldi. For some reason, it’s still doing well, so I decided to do a little update. I made a video so go check that out here. The video all about finding vegan food at Aldi and my $44 Aldi haul.

I wanted to break it down a little bit more in this post. If you’d like to see more like this (or more videos) let me know! I did say it was $35 in the video, but it was actually $44. I did buy a couple of things that I didn’t necessarily need (don’t shop hungry or when a kid is hungry!) so it definitely could have been less.

Zero Waste Gift Ideas

I know what you’re thinking, gift ideas for a zero waste lifestyle?! Does that even make sense? Let’s say you have a friend who wants to pursue more of a zero waste (or realistically low-waste) lifestyle and you want to find them an awesome gift. Or maybe you’ve recently begun a journey to lower your waste and want to encourage others to do the same. Either way, these gift ideas for a zero waste lifestyle are ideal for anyone.

Eating healthy food doesn’t have to be difficult, or expensive! There seems to be a myth that eating healthy plant-based foods costs a lot. Although this can be the case, there are many healthy options that are very inexpensive and taste great!

This list of 10 healthiest foods for a tight budget are just some of my favorite healthy, plant-based foods, but there are so many more. If you’re completely new to following a whole-foods, plant-based diet, you might want to check out my 7 tips for starting a plant-based diet first.

Simple Tip to Reduce Waste | Different Types of Cloth Diapers

If you want an easy way to reduce waste, cloth diapering is a great place to start! If you have a baby (or have ever been around a baby) you know that they go through a lot of diapers. Although I am fortunately not changing diapers anymore, all three of my kids used cloth diapers to some extent (my daughter was pretty much fully cloth diapered.)

When my oldest was a baby, cloth diapering was a lot less common than when my younger two were babies. I didn’t use cloth diapers with him as an infant, but I wish I would have! I bought gDiapers first (don’t recommend) but then learned about the different types of cloth diapers later. When my daughter was born, I was much better prepared.

This is a pretty comprehensive list of the different types of cloth diapers along with how to start cloth diapering.
